Trusting My Brother Not To Tell Our Parents I

Should I tell my parents the reason of my brother not getting married is because he is gay? He didn't tell me also. I was browsing through his laptop and I saw some pictures that just blew my eyes.

Should I tell my parents the reason of my brother not getting married is because he is gay? He didn't tell me also. I was browsing through his laptop and I saw some pictures that just blew my eyes.You could get in very serious legal trouble for browsing your brother’s computer without permission - and I can be 100% sure he didn’t give you permission if those pics were on there and yet he hadn’t said anything to you about his sexual orientation.If you choose to tell your brother that you saw the pictures, the only morally possible context is an abject apology for invading his privacy. And you had better hope he doesn’t call the police. Because it doesn’t even matter what kind of material is on his machine. What counts is that you did not have permission to view it.But don’t tell him. He is likely to view it as an attempt to blackmail him. This will probably spell the end of your relationship with your brother.More importantly, it is not your business whether he is gay or not unless he chooses to tell you. So that means that if he hasn’t told you, that is info you are not entitled to even know, much less share.And above all: there is only one person who is entitled to tell your parents that your brother is gay, and that is… your brother.So: your only solution is to unsee those pictures and forget that they even exist.If you don’t like that solution, then next time you might wish to consider not browsing someone else’s computer without permission. It’s the only way to protect yourself from the necessity of this kind of unseeing and forgetting.

I caught my brother smoking. Should I tell my parents?

Let me tell you my story.Once, I was in home during the college vacation sitting in our drawing hall alone when everyone left to sleep. Since I was sure that everyone has slept, I lighted a cigarette and started enjoying the slow song on the TV, when suddenly I heard the voice of my youngest sister approaching me. Instantly, I threw the cigarette out of the room through window. Now, when she entered the room, she smelled the smoke and asked me. Brother, was You smoking? Even after my negative response she cried “Mom, Come here, Brother is smoking cigarettes.”I learned a lesson then, Smoke, but never in your own home.Another incident, during my cousin’s marriage. When we was moving to marriage location, I with few my friends who were slightly behind from the crowd, started smoking, when my maternal uncle (he is not very elder to me, and is like an elder brother, married few years back) came and asked me to drop the cigarette as my father was coming towards our side. Later in alone he gave me advise that, do whatever you want to, but always remember there are few things which others should not come to know and there are few things which you should ensure that everyone know.Two incidents, two different people, two different outcomes. Why?My younger sister was not in position of advising me and hence she though parents would be better to do so.My uncle knew, that it would be sad if my parents come to know that I smoke and hence he himself talked to me.Advise for you.See, who is in better position to talk to him, you or your parents?Why your brother smokes? Is it due to bad friends company, addiction, just for fun.Is there any point to talk to you brother, (will he stop or not?)P.S. I am still a smoker. not a chain smoker though.
